I like this metaphor :)
Newgrounds wasn't (and still isn't) about the BBS in the first place. How can people say it won't survive!? I came here for the movies and games and noticed the forums and i thought it was cool. Now I will just go back to movies and games.

We're not saying newgrounds wont survive. It will. But it will loose the depth that some of its residents have come to love. It will lose that special something that keeps people here and active in the community, even if they can't for whatever reason create material for the portals. I know I'm going to miss it. And even though I was looking forward to the Art and Lit portals, I would trade it all for the continuation of the forums.

Clearly if you look at my profile and my user level I ma all about the BBS. So I am one of those people who won't be around NG much without it, and I ma as saddend as you are, but at least let us have some understanding of how this is necessary to protect the core of what NG is.

No those stay. Since they actually help artist progress, and not stagnate. Hopefully with General gone we can shave off a few of these fuckin' worthless mods as well.
Personally, I'd like to start with the few losers that actually leaked this information.
